"Hours later, two men were slain on the city's South Side."

That says it all. Liberals don't like the scrutiny of an oversight board in their city but love them when the Republicans are running thiungs.

Chicongo is becoming another Detroit. Downtown stores employ private security, not to combat theft but just to try to keep people safe.

The oversight board is composed of cop hating liberals.

Police credited so-called ShotSpotter technology -

I credit it to running out of thugs.......Maybe they should implement a bag limit.

Liberals want to handcuff the police and keep them from doing their jobs.

Oh wait - I thought those same liberals told us to trust the police to protect us.

You mean they don’t? Never mind...

That, too, would be my guess. If they're going to have an oversight board, sprinkle it (heavily) with retired coppers. Chicago is a lost cause.

Spot shot technology is a joke.

Downtown Chicago is perfectly safe. Never had a problem when I visited the city.

Its the west and south side tourists should shun.

You are a visitor. The crime in downtown and now on the Gold Coast is high.

Why would anyone visit the West or South side? Suicide.

Well it they would simply enact some gun laws this would all shake out okay.

“I don’t know how you can turn over crime strategy and every policing decision to some group of people who have absolutely no law enforcement experience,” Johnson said.

But, it’s the Community Organizer way. The One from Chicago: Obama’s way. Has he learned nothing from Chicago’s Messiah?

I sure hope Barry steps in to straighten out this Eddie cop guy.

Politicians don’t want any competition for the money from their protection racket.

...Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said no one consulted him or anyone in the CPD for the year and a half it was conceptualized...

Of course no one consulted him. He’s hung out to dry as happens in Chicago.
He is just the latest police Superintendent who will be made the the newest fall guy for the daily slaughter in Rahm Emmanuel’s democrat run Chicago.

“we’re finally making real progress, so I don’t know how you can turn over crime strategy and every policing decision to some group of people who have absolutely no law enforcement”

Or vetting. This could be the key sentence in this entire article. If the police are being successful there are outside sources that do not want success for variety of reasons. One is that they have a vested interest in criminal activity, and that could possibly be why they want inside information so they can pass along to their cohorts and stymie any effort to eradicate crime in the windy city. It’s probably big money at stake if this is a correct assessment.

Spot shot would work, if you had an adequate number of cops to react quickly. That’s not possible in Chicago.

Eventually, someone will stand up and suggest that firing the city council (mostly all Democrats) and going with GOP guys might be the answer, but you’d have to accept stop-and-frisk.

I grew up on the south side. Around 98th and Commercial. I’ve been gone thirty years. I can’t imagine why anyone stays.

“Commission for Public Safety and Accountability” is Liberal speak for “Favored Minority and Criminal Group Protection Society.” Enforce the Law but don’t you dare lay a hand on any of our minions.
